Man, I thought that the contents of this were lost forever due to a hard-drive crash. However, I did already have the contents preserved on another backup, so here it is. So what is Unrealty? Unrealty was a virtual environment that made use of the Unreal Engine. Developed by Perilith Industrielle, the software allowed real-world locations to be rendered using the Unreal Engine so that one could either explore the location, visualize building plans, or build interactive 3D tours. The maps, called locales, could be navigated as with any other Unreal map. The website and software was active between 1998 and 2002.

The Unrealty Website is still around today, even though it only exist for archival purposes. Their is a forum post on the Oldunreal Forums that goes into detail about the software. Their are also plenty of downloads, which makes me feel stupid now as I wouldn't have tore threw my backups if I knew about that post. Better late than never. However, I discover that they were even a couple of more locales that I didn't know about, along with the demo of the Unrealty Editor that I've only heard about, but never seen in action until recently. I never knew about the Linux client either. I need to test the client on one of my Linux VM's (a project for later). 

Perilithvito on the Oldunreal Forums have done a hell of a job preserving the software and resurrecting the Unrealty website. His contributions in software preservation have prevented Unrealty from being lost to time. Not only that, on his (the new Unrealty) website, one can visit the locales now thru their web-browser! That is even more amazing! It works on Firefox. Holy Crap, isn't their anything that he can't do!   

The locales included are Thayer Theature, the Mouse Tutotial, the ISS, the How Computers Work demo that I copied from my CD, and the Notre Dame demo. Two locales other locales rescued from my personal backups that I haven't seen elsewhere includes HypobankBeta1-v001 (Bank unrelated to Texas one on the Unrealty website) the and the 3dx3_c-hall_demo (Convention Hall).

Unrealty does run on VMware Player under my Windows 7 Guest with 3D acceleration enabled. On that guest, Unrealty supports with software mode or Direct3D (no OpenGL, which is weird considering the UT99, which Unrealty is based on, does). Performance-wise, it runs very well. The Notre-Dame demo runs as well. However, it insist on running in a window. However, the resolution of windowed mode can be manually configured by editing the vrnd.ini file located the "VRND Cathedral\System" folder. The Notre Dame demo is based on the Unreal engine as well, so anyone manually editing the Unreal system ini file will feel right as home.
